Yes. Both articles have been a great read. As a woman and veteran, I’ve never had much patience with the mean girl ethos. You could say I lean toward the masculine in terms of prioritizing merit (prestige) over propriety. I like to get sh*t done.

I’ve also realized recently that I prefer working with male clients because they waste fewer cycles on projects (and they tend to respect budgets and results).
This is not to say that women should be pushed back into domestic roles and I don’t believe this article is suggesting this (although I have read some pieces that lean in that direction). It just means that we need to evolve our emotional intelligence so we can be more effective leaders.
Effective leadership outside of family and community groups will require us to become more results oriented and less propriety focused. I welcome this evolution. I suppose being a creative (designer/web developer) drives this pragmatic streak. From the Hoel article:
“All cognitive resources go to reputation management in the group, to being popular, leaving nothing left in the tank for invention or creativity or art or engineering.”
"This is not to say that women should be pushed back into domestic roles"
Thanks for your service. Women shouldn't be pushed anywhere, especially women like you. But the majority of women today realize (even if only subconsciously) they'd be happier and better off in a domestic role. Cubicle or cashier life is inferior to child-rearing and homemaking life. For the minority of women who truly desire and are capable of roles as soldiers or surgeons, let nobody stand in their way. But let's stop pretending this is appropriate for an women.
As long as it’s the woman’s choice and no one else’s, I’m fine with whatever role they choose. Not all women are cut out to be domestic or to have kids.

This strongly resonated with me.
